I guess it could be the cable, but... If you forced the firewire connector into the Ipod the wrong way, while active ( i.e. power to the firewire port ) I would fear the electronics that supports firewire inside the Ipod is damaged. Especially if it doesn't propoerly connect to the PC/Mac now. Hope it is still under warranty...I wouldn't tell them I plugged it in backwards though.
